In wired networks you are usually better off to share 3 units of bandwidth with 3 people because not everybody is using the pipe at once but in wireless networks access control is not so good and I'd rather have 1 band to myself and get 100% performance rather than have 3 bands shared with other people because instead of getting 300% performance I might get 30% after contention.
